Commission officials believe that the physi-

a complete success. The water OF the main
portion of the lake is much more dense with
salt than ordinary sea water, but theinfow-
ing tributaries to the lake are mountain
streams of fresh water, and each of these
reduces the density for considerable dis.

may select at their own free will the quality
of salt water they prefer. Besides, they
will be enabled to select clear, fresh water
for the spawning season.
